Migrant workers form a key element in labour markets throughout the Asia-Pacific region. In Bangladesh, like many other countries of origin, labour migration is a source of employment, and workers’ remittances are critical to poverty alleviation and for offsetting the foreign trade deficit. Malaysia is a major country of destination, where migrants make up approximately a quarter of the workforce. Migrant workers’ contributions are critical in several key economic sectors, including the multi-billion dollar palm oil industry.

Protection of migrant workers in the recruitment and third party employment process: International standards and guiding principles given by the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181) and Private Employment Agencies Recommendation, 1997 (No. 188).
The Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181) and the Private Employment Agencies Recommendation, 1997 (No. 188) are legal instruments developed by the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) tripartite constituents (i.e., governments, employers, and workers) that set out the international minimum standards and guiding principles with regard to the regulation of private employment agencies and the protection of workers who use the services of these agencies.
This booklet provides readers with information about the key provisions of Convention No. 181 and Recommendation No. 188. The information may be utilized by member States of the ILO to reinforce their efforts to regulate private employment agencies and protect migrant workers through the ratification of Convention No. 181 and the development of national legislation.

Understanding the intricacies of gender and migration can result in programs and policies that enhance the benefits and decrease the economic and social costs for female migrants, who make up half of the global migrant population. The report provides a comprehensive assessment of gender and migration literature, finding that migration can improve the autonomy, human capital, and self‐esteem of women, as well as women’s authority and worth in their families and communities. Migration can advance more equitable social norms and improve women’srights and access to resources. Although migration islargely beneficial, there are many constraints that limit its gains, such as restrictive social norms or laws, gender and racial discrimination, and gender‐specific vulnerabilities. The report concludes by recommending that migrant women’s human rights be protected, and that migrants be provided access to services and resources such as health, legal, and financial services. The report also recommends that governments ratify international treaties and conventions promoting rights and protectionsfor migrant women, as well as promote nondiscrimination and women’s access to labor markets.

In June 2014, more than 250,000 Cambodian migrant workers returned home to Cambodia from Thailand, prompted by fear of arrest and uncertainty brought about by the tumultuous political situation in Thailand. The majority of these migrants were undocumented and travelling with families and young children, returned across the border to Cambodia. In response, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Cambodia conducted interviews with 667 of these returning migrant workers to better understand their needs and concerns before, during and after their migration. IOM X conducted a gender analysis based on the collected data and authored the report. The report can be of value to practitioners who aim to create campaigns and interventions with aspirant and returning Cambodian migrant workers, particularly if working to address the needs and concerns of different genders.
